Sober October check-in!
Day 1 is ending. How did it feel for you? Be honest.
Before I quit for good in 2021, I tried every year to make it through October without drinking and I never made it the full way. When I finally stopped in November, it was rough. I was in such a blackout streak I did not even realize it was Thanksgiving week.
So if your brain is already saying Wednesday feels like a blah start, or telling you to just wait for Dry January, that is normal. But it is only one day, and you already made it this far.
Share your honest recap of Day 1 here. I promise you are not alone.
Here is something someone told me early on that still helps me today:
You can be as free as you want to be.
If you do not believe me, try it for yourself. Comment below with how your day went and notice how much lighter it feels when someone else says they felt the exact same way. No sugar coating needed. Just be as honest as you want to be.
